I'm trying to get the LivingEntity out of my NPC but something isn't right, whatever I do with the LivingEntity doesn't run at all and doesn't give any excpetions.
Here's my code:

npc.addTrait(SentinelTrait.class);
SentinelTrait sentinelTrait = npc.getOrAddTrait(SentinelTrait.class);

erebus.spawn(loc);
LivingEntity entity = sentinelTrait.getLivingEntity(); //i've tried both npc.getEntity(); and this
entity.setGlowing(true); //this is just an example thing, it doesn't work```

#

also yes, I made sure that the entity is spawned

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

@paper leaf so, do you mean glowing doesn't work?

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

anything involving the entity

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

@paper leaf so, it's not null?

#

and you're sure it's not being respawned?

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

well no
if it were to be null it would throw exceptions

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

stiff hazel and you're sure it's not being respawned?

i mean what could even respawn it

#

there's nothing in my code that respawns anything

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

if it was a player, setting a skin might respawn it

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

hm lemme check that

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 11:57 AM

#

stiff hazel if it was a player, setting a skin might respawn it

I'm adding the skin then getting the sentinel trait
then i'm getting the entity

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

@paper leaf try not adding a skin

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

sure i'll try

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 12:11 PM

#

stiff hazel <@591547097111724052> try not adding a skin

it works now

the bossbar i made for it doesn't update though but i think it's not related to the npc thing

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:11 PM

#

if you need to add a skin, set it before the NPC spawns

#

otherwise you will have to wait for the skin to be downloaded (which forces a respawn)

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 12:12 PM

#

stiff hazel if you need to add a skin, set it before the NPC spawns

I am doing that though

#

i assume it's just slow downloading right?
if that's the case i can just add some delay before it spawns

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:18 PM

#

@paper leaf as in, set it directly to the blob

#

rather than downloading it every time

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 12:20 PM

#

stiff hazel <@591547097111724052> as in, set it directly to the blob

wdym
currently im setting it by the name of the player holding it cause i got the wrong texture with the #setSkinPersistent method

#

setSkinPersistent stores it in the files right?

#

instead of downloading

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

stores it in memory

#

yeah and files

#

downloaded from mojang servers, so you probably didn't do it right if you got the wrong texture

im not sure what the first arg "skinName" is
as for the encoded signature and texture i think its good

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

seems ok

#

the first argument is a cache key

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

stiff hazel the first argument is a cache key

so i can set it to anything?

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

yep

paper leaf Apr 2, 2023, 12:49 PM

#

stiff hazel yep

well uh...
it set the skin to the "Erebus" guy

it changed itself to the normal texture, the actual skin i want
then it changed to alex
then to the skin above

stiff hazel Apr 2, 2023, 12:52 PM
